About The IGF

IndieGames.com is presented by the UBM TechWeb Game Network, which runs the Independent Games Festival & Summit every year at Game Developers Conference. The company (producer of the Game Developers Conference series, Gamasutra.com and Game Developer magazine) established the Independent Games Festival in 1998 to encourage innovation in game development and to recognize the best independent game developers.

PBS's original web series Off Book tackles the world of independently developed games in its latest episode, The Creativity of Indie Video Games, which you can watch in full above.

While the content here is aimed at a general audience, it's interesting to see multiple facets of indie development represented, and the tone is refreshingly positive throughout. The footage features input from Spelltower creator Zach Gage, Bastion audio designer Darren Korb, and Osmos developers Eddy Boxerman and Andy Nealen, along with commentary from Kill Screen's Jamin Warren and Gamasutra's Leigh Alexander.
